Gingerbread said to be coming to the Motorola DROID X, DROID Pro and DROID 2/Global
Share:
Those who just bought or are planning on buying the Motorola DROID X2 have no worries as the manufacturer has already announced that the phone will be getting Gingerbread. But those still clinging to their original Motorola DROID will seemingly be stuck with Android 2.2 as Time Magazine's 2009 Gadget of the Year just doesn't have the processing power to handle the newer version of the Android OS.

Is Android 2.2 the end of the line for the Motorola DROID? |

if you look at some of the video reviews of the Droid X2 with the new Droidblur Interface you'll see there are a few new widgets including a much needed bookmark widget and new gallery features that aren't in the leaked build.

*UPDATE* it appears that it's only the Droid X2's build that has the enhancements i specified.

For those like me who downloaded the leak, apparently we don't have the final build. Which is good, as there are a couple of bugs I uncovered which have probably been fixed.
I'm actually happy that Moto is taking the time to iron out bugs before releasing the update. I'm going to check and see if I can download the final build when it's released. In the meantime, Gingerblur has still been a revolutionary experience.

Well I guess its a good thing I installed a gingerbread based rom over a month ago on my original Droid. Also been running it at 1.1ghz for over a year. Seriously, I've never owned a gadget with a longer shelflife than this phone.

it would seem the beloved original Droid has reached the end of the ride..sorry guy. two year contract should be up, take a look at the Droid 3. it looks like a good upgrade.

Really MOTO/Verizon? I've been running 2.3 on my original DROID for months now, AND ITS UNDERCLOCKED TO 500MHz!!! It's not the processor, its the bloatware they put into their builds.

It seems like I read an article every couple of weeks saying that 2.3 is going to be out soon. WTH?

all of these phones run the same version of Blur which seems to get updates MUCH quicker than the traditional version of Blur on the Atrix, you'll get it eventually just wait and see.
